Cooking food at the stake is a completely amazing process. There is something primitive and magical about this. And the result of cooking is beyond any praise - the smell of smoke can not be obtained in any other way. And yet, sometimes even experienced tourists are trapped in trouble in the form of rain, damp wood, the lack of firewood suitable for breeding and maintaining fire. This is where the tourist gas burner, which was stored exactly for such a case, will come in handy.
Types of portable tourist gas burners
In the simplest version, the burner is a divider with a power regulator wound on a gas cylinder, which simultaneously acts as a stand. At the cost of such a burner is the most affordable, and in use is very simple.
Slightly more complex versions are equipped with folding legs, besides they have a gas hose with a valve, screwed onto a cylinder. The design is heavier and larger, but it is more stable and withstands the weight of a large boiler.
Ceramic tourist gas stove with a burner and piezopodging, in contrast to the usual, has a lot of useful properties. The flame in it will never fade in the wind, and the furnace itself will successfully work in the cold.
In such plates gas consumption is reduced, the gas cylinder itself is located directly in the plate. Cooking on such a burner is convenient, without spending a lot of time and effort.
It is convenient to have such a stove in your cottage so that in the event of a power outage you can not stay without hot food. Well, if you need a torch for a hike, consider a mini-gas tourist plate. In assembled form it looks like a full-fledged gas cooker with a piezoprigation. It is directly connected to the collet gas cylinder, after which you can start using it.
In the folded state, it fits into a special case and takes up very little space. Its weight does not reach even half a kilogram, so that the backpack will not make it heavier and it takes a lot of space.
What are the advantages of gas tourist burners?
This equipment is very simple in design, so it is easy to use. It does not require any complicated manipulations to turn on, you just need to turn the handle like on your home plate.
Stand portable gas burners inexpensively, but they serve for a long time. Having a supply of gas cylinders, you can cook food for a long hike.
The presence of a gas burner relieves lazy tourists from the need to build a fire every evening for cooking and heating food. And in extreme conditions, for example, on the snow top of a mountain, and is the only source of fire and heat.
It is not difficult to carry a burner and cylinders with you, especially if you distribute this equipment among the members of the group. And if you use a stove or a burner in a permanent place (during fishing or just a weekend outside the city), then this is not at all a problem.
And a little about the shortcomings
There are several disadvantages to gas burners. First, suitable gas cylinders are sometimes difficult to find, besides, they are worth a lot. Secondly, there is a problem with the disposal of these most cylinders after use.
With continuous continuous use of the burner, as well as with an incomplete tank, it starts to work worse. At low temperatures and with improper fuel (low-quality inexpensive and non-branded cylinders), the burners work very badly.
If you plan to fly to the place of travel by plane, you will not be allowed to bring gas cylinders with you, since airlines refer them to prohibited items.
